CNN has jumped the shark. No silly ethics violations will stop CNN from promoting the failed, ultra-liberal FL gubernatorial candidate.

Fillum is a Democrat. He has no need to worry about the legal system.

Glad he has a platform that is not the FL governor's house.

We need for him to be as mouthy as possible.

......for a Democrat, to qualify for a high-paying media job all you have to do is:
(A) lose a major state election,
(B) un-rescind your concession when ballots are mysteriously found in a "back room;"
(C) be a bought and paid for Mayor.

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum and the Mystery of 311 East Jennings Street
A morass of addresses, interconnections, swaps and deals raising questions about Mayor Gillum’s alliances.
Gillum's first win was in 2003 and he became mayor in 2014; under Blessed Obama he was NEVER a target of FBI inquiry.

<><> 52 LLCs list the Jennings Street address, many of which have donated to state and local Democrats including Sunnyland Solar, connected to a city-subsidized liberal-loving clean energy project now under FBI scrutiny. Mayor Gillum voted in 2011 to give Sunnyland Solar up to $5.4 million in tax subsidies.

<><>local businessman J.T. Burnette, a major Gillum backer who in 2014 received $883,000 in city tax subsidies for developing a downtown hotel. Gillum declined to comment. Burnette become a major political player by taking advantage of the LLC loophole. Florida is one of several states that allows LLC's – even if they have the same ownership — to contribute as separate individuals, permitted to give the maximum amount of $1,000 from each "subsidiary."

<><> Jennings Street also houses KaiserKane, a national security contractor with millions of tax dollars in federal contracts---multimillion-dollar deals with the Dept of Defense and the Dept of Justice (blessed by Obama?).

<><>KaiserKane, named in the FBI subpoena, actually bought the Jennings Street property in 2013 for $1.15 million, records show. The building was sold in 2016 to 311 Jennings LLC, a company that lists Burnette’s home as its corporate address. The Jennings building was sold again in March 2017 to the PACE Center for Girls, a Jacksonville-based nonprofit.

<><>KaiserKane still uses the address for its Tallahassee office on its website “contact” page. Cynthia Montgomery, a lawyer representing PACE, said her client is the lone occupant of the 12,000-square-foot building. KaiserKane President Melissa Oglesby did not return a call.

<><> Significantly Mayor Gillum’s campaign was operating out of 1550 Melvin St, owned by longtime confidante Sharon Lettman-Hicks....the same building he has worked out of in his side gigs, first as director of youth leadership for the advocacy group People for the American Way, then for Lettman-Hicks’ P & P Communications, where Gillum was VP. Just what Gillum did for P & P, though, is not known. The company has no website, no dedicated phone line and has not formally disclosed its clients.

<><> The Melvin building was bought with funding from the NW Florida Black Business Investment Corporation, a tax-exempt group that provides (wait for it) "investment funding." Two of the investment corporation directors are part of a group that in July received $281,000 in Tallahassee community development tax dollars for exclusive rights to a development project in the city. (hat tip RealClearInvestigations)

TO BE DETERMINED:
How many Gillum voters are registered at that address AND at other addresses.
How many of Gillum's “ladies” are living at that address?

Andrew, you can run but you can’t hide.

Why would CNN hire someone under investigation? ‘Cause they’re CNN and they’re stupid!

Good. That's the end of his career.

Now if CNN can hire Stacey "Hogzilla" Abrams and kill her career.
